Joanna Krupa: Kate Winslet's Nude Scene No Different Than Posing for Playboy

By PopEater Staff Posted Nov 4th 2009 09:55AM

Joanna Krupa / Playboy cover

December's Playboy cover girl Joanna Krupa is standing up against women who view the men's magazine as sexist and demeaning. "I think they suffer from lack of knowledge and tunnel vision... What is feminist about discriminating a photo shoot just because it involves female (partial) nudity that happens to give men pleasure? Pathetic," Krupa told Fox New's Pop Tarts. What really upsets her is that actresses like Kate Winslet and Halle Berry can win Oscars after having performed intense sex scenes -- yet her shoot in Playboy will cause an outcry.

"Our society is used to judging content by its package and label. The word 'Playboy' alone doesn't exactly give most women a warm, fuzzy feeling, yet many of the Playboy photos end up in the most praised photo and art magazines and in critically acclaimed photo exhibitions," Krupa said.

She believes Playboy is a tasteful magazine that is nothing compared to what's going on in other media like movies and TV. "As for movies, over the years violence has become more graphic and bodies more naked even in Academy Award winning films. The excuse that nudity and even full blown sex-scenes are 'artistically required' is laughable, as that would imply that all movies from the old days (that didn't contain love scenes) were less artistic. So it simply comes down to 'sex sells.'"

Krupa, who appeared on 'Dancing With The Stars,' believes posing for Playboy is empowering for women. "There are several great reasons why female celebs line up to shoot Playboy: finally a woman gets paid more than a man for comparable work, she gets to set the rules, gets to be in a real team work with other women, as many key positions at Playboy are in fact held by women! She brings in her creative ideas, gets involved in the photo selection and ends up with something she co-created through and through," Krupa said.

So how will her new cover and photo spread look? "I really don't display more skin than I saw on my last beach trip to St Tropez - and there were plenty of children running around. So, my cover and spread are sexy without being shocking," she said.

I agree completely... What the hell, it's empowering for women to take their clothes off??? Why don't men have to take their clothes off to be empowering. I look up so much to the female who went through med school or college to become a respected figure in society, one who men REALLY respect.

Trish, I bet you take you clothes off in the dark - in a room without mirrors. If you don't like the magazine and/or the movie - don't read/watch.... Loosen up, girl.

what's the big deal?? i think the only people that have a problem with this woman posing for playboy are either VERY uptight or jealous of her beauty & want to put her down.

i don't think there is anything wrong with her choosing to pose nude. i see topless women on the beach every day. i am assuming they are european because we get alot of europen tourists here & they aren't so uptight about nudity like most american women... go to europe & you will see nude women in commercials like nothing.

Joanna, the difference; one is pornagraphy, get it? I don't mind if you want to sell pictures of yourself nude for money; but don't be stupid and be honest with yourself. An award winning actress is artist who has studied and practiced a craft for many, many, many years. A porn model is any chick that is willing to flash herself for cash. There's a big difference sweetie, and I'm sorry but putting yourself in the same league as professional, Oscar winning actresses is like suggesting that meatloaf and filet mignon are the same because their both beef.

Pornography defined by the dictionary is "Sexually explicit pictures, writing, or other material whose primary purpose is to cause sexual arousal." Therefore, we can conclude that even the movies that have sex scenes, because they can easily insinuate sex they don't have to explicitly show it, is pornography. Meaning that Playboy and the movies with sex are both morally unacceptable.

As for the empowering bit, the only power they(people who model nude) are demonstrating is the power of degrading themselves. All they are doing is making themselves sexual objects for men(or women because men model nude as well) to look at. They are making women(men) appear as nothing more that meat. So it doesn't matter if they are filet mignon or meatloaf either way they are just meat.

Hey NYCTIM this is another Tim in NYC,
If you don't see the the difference between a nude model, and an oscar winning actress, then you're the moron. Obviously you have no appreciation, or education, regarding Acting, Thearte training, and people who spend their lives working in the performing arts. And what's the deal with calling whomever has a different point of view than yours fat? Wow, that's some real sophisticated thinking there buddy. I have a feeling it's you that's 50-100lbs overweight, which is why you're so defensive about your porn mags, they must be the only action you get.

I am so tired of explicite sex in movies. If I want that, I will rent a porno film. Nudity doesn't bother me, but watching all of that humping is discusting when I am at a movie for entertainment. The sex does not move the story line along. There are other ways to imply what is going on between the charcters. And yes I have been to porno films when that mood hits me. The audience is not stupid. We can use our imaginations. When the charcters start ripping their clothes off, you know what is about to happen. The audience does not have to see the end results. I am also not happy with all of the graphic blood, guts and gore. The old movies I see on TV are much better than the newer ones full of explicit sex and violence.

I agree, taking your clothes off for money is whoreing oneslef out. That being siad I believe in free-will, and if one desides to whore themesleves out, they deal with the consequences of their actions. Ladies, and gentelman, quit putting the blame on teh ones that choose and deal with the consequences and try teaching your children. Then they will have the ability to make better decisions. You can blame everyone else in the world, but if someone pays for it, it will continue to happen, so just educate the young ladies of this nation, and try to conteract all of the ludacrous stereotypes and expectations society as a whole shove down womans throats; and by the way don't think you haven't re-enforced at least one of those stereotypes on your own children before, everyone does, I'm just saying that education is the only way, not demonization. Some people liekto take off their clothes and other people like to watch them, let it go, just educate the young ones so that they can make the best decision for themesleves. EDUCATION EDUCATION EDUCATION.

It's probably because Playboy = sex, and those nude scenes/sex scenes with Halle Berry and Kate Winslet are just parts in movies that are NOT about sex. There's a bit of a difference. Movies have plots, Playboy does not.

Krupa's one of those people who are better off being seen rather than heard.

You didn't read the interview properly....She said that movies have added more and more nudity and sex over the years and the excuse is often that it is "artistically required" which it is not.

When Halle Berry flashed her breast in a scene of "swordfish" just laying a round reading a book in a chair it had no other function that showing her breasts.Feel free to review the movie.

And I also don't need to see Kate Winslet full bush in a film.

So Krupa made an excellent point. Movies show more nudity to SELL.
